196(9) At A Time - Deckle Edge Page 4

The final page has some pretty impressive players on it; five of the eight are in Cooperstown.

#26 Richie Allen, he signed as "Rich," the back of the card says "Richie." and in a year or so he will be "Dick."#27 Roberto Clemente, he signed as "Roberto," but this was the era when Topps was calling him "Bob."#28 Curt Flood

#29 Bob Gibson This looks like it was taken at the Cardinals old home, Sportsmans Park, which they moved out of in 1966.#30 Al Ferrara, The Padres representative sure go himself mixed into some pretty elite company!#31 Willie McCovey The Giants were the other team in the set with three players, and all three are in the Hall of Fame.#32 Juan Marichal

#33 Willie MaysAnd with that, I am now completely finished with the 1969 set; really, I am.(And yes, I know there are sticker inserts with this set, too, but I don't have any of them and I'm not planning to get any of them....I am done with 1969!!)

About Me

I am a life-long Cubs fan currently in exile in southern Michigan. I have been collecting baseball cards since the fateful Cubs year of 1969. I took a 15 year break from the hobby and returned in 2008.
